We have just received the following report from Natalie Brookes: "Our house in JS Marais Str nr 3 were also damaged.. All windows are thrown out.. We just came today and had to pack up and leave.. Threw petrol through window and set it alight but we were prepared with buckets full of water.. With small kids in the house and our grandma of 93. We are all traumatised.. Our neighbour, close friend of the families house was set alight and he was not even home. The situation was out of hand. We could have died tonight...we had to wait for the police to come before we could leave.."

This is the second confirmed report we have of people being attacked in their homes by protesters and represents a serious escalation compared to previous violent protests in Kleinmond. Earlier this evening a woman living on the corner of Singleton and Main Rd was also attacked in her home. The windows of her home were thrown out and her car damaged. She was evacuated by Kaws and law enforcement officers
